1/500 HMS Ramillies (Novo)
This is the Novo 1/500 royal sovereign kit which i had to produce as a White Ramillies, as requested by my client.As a kit is wrong in many areas so after a while i gave up correcting it and just focused on building it in a rather simple but still nice manner.Lots of details could have been added but sometimes time is more critical and i kinda lost my nerve with it as well at the end.I did replace all the decks with scribbed balsa wood corrected the hull casings for the secondary guns -additional bulges on the hull were just too much too add this time ) replace all the shafts and some of the superstructure and added railings and a few ladders from WEM 1/500 set.Overall a nice subject on a nice scale but rather outdated as a kit, produces more of a toy-like model instead of a model.
